  WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT  Isaiah 8:11-18 Devotional:- “And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him” (V.17) God is real no matter how anyone feels. Since we are made to worship God whether it is going well or not we must always give all the glory to Him. It is easy to worship God when things are going well, but situations are not always pleasant. That is why we must learn to always give God glory in all situations. The richest of worship is during pains or trails. We must learn to trust God, surrender and love God when we don’t feel his presence. In our scripture today the man of God said ‘’I will trust and place my trust in Him even when God is hidden‘’. True friendship is often tested by distance and inability to communicate. It takes close time and distant time to grow relationship. That is why to mature your relationship with God He will test you with period of seeming separation, feeling abandoned or forgotten. In such ti...

WHAT IS GROWTH   

Luke 2:36-40
Devotional:-“And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him” (v.40) NKJV


    The reason why people live in frustration is because of lack of growth. Life become unbearable when man can no longer cope with his challenges. The reason man cannot cope with the challenges of his life is because, he is weak in that aspect of life (Proverbs 24:10). Instead of complaining, God expect us to build up and overcome the challenges of our lives. So, the way to progress in life is growth. 

    Growth is the act of increasing, becoming stronger and better in life. In the scripture we read today, we saw Jesus growing up as a child, yet increasing in different aspect of His life. This is a key factor to your success on earth. Jesus was growing stronger in the spirit because, that is what He was made of and that is what we are also made of (John 4: 24, Genesis 1:26-27). He was filled with wisdom and was growing in understanding (Proverbs 4:7). He also acquires the grace of God because growth qualifies for grace (Proverbs 4:9).

    These are blessings that comes with growth. Let us refuse to be victim of life but be willing to grow up in Christ Jesus, so that we can be qualified for our heritage in God (Galatians 4: 1). A none growing person will miss out in the blessings of life. But when we grow up, we do not only qualify but become strong enough to handle the good things of life. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for growth.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
